Rolling Motion A type of motion where an object rotates around its axis while also translating along a surface. Free Wheel A wheel that can rotate around its axis and move sideways, unlike a fixed wheel. Fixed Wheel A wheel that rotates around a fixed axis without translational movement. Angular Velocity The rate of change of angular position of a rotating body, denoted as omega. Translational Velocity The velocity of the center of mass of a body as it moves through space. Center of Mass The point in a body or system where the mass is evenly distributed. Radius The distance from the center of a circle or sphere to its perimeter or surface. Velocity at Top The speed at the top of a rolling wheel, which is twice the velocity of the center of mass. Velocity at Bottom The speed at the bottom of a rolling wheel, which is zero relative to the floor. Rolling Without Slipping A condition where a wheel rolls on a surface without sliding, maintaining a static contact point. Tangential Velocity The linear speed of a point on a rotating object, directed along the tangent to the path. Radians per Second A unit of angular velocity, describing the angle turned in radians in one second. Conceptual Test An assessment focusing on understanding the principles and concepts rather than calculations. Equation A mathematical statement that asserts the equality of two expressions. Flat Surface A level, even surface on which an object can roll or slide.
